Alberta premier says loss of measles elimination status concerning, urges vigilance Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Canada’s recent loss of its measles elimination status is concerning, but her government did what it could to remind people to get vaccinated.

Brazen lying here by @daniellesmithab.bsky.social. As reported, unchallenged, by @nytimes , Smith's govt stopped Chief Medical Officer of Health Mark Joffe from making statements at critical times during the measles outbreak.

The UCP government created and championed the Citizens Initiative Act as a fundamental part of our democracy - giving citizens the right to launch petitions and recall elected officials.
Now they're walking away from that commitment.

The big crime lie Crime is down but spending on cops and security is up. Why?

If crime is way down, why are Canadians so afraid of crime? And what are politicians funnelling money into? My latest -- they are boosting policing to police us ... not keep us safe (unless you're rich, which trust me, you are not.)

Alberta government changes expense disclosure policy, removes eight years of records | CBC News Key changes to Alberta’s expense disclosure policy mean that the receipts of senior government officials, including the premier, will no longer be public.

I happened to notice that the Alberta govt quietly changed its expense report disclosure policy on Aug. 1, hours before a long weekend.

The changes were significant — receipts no longer had to be publicly disclosed, and 8 years of expenses had been 'undisclosed.'

Workers apply vinyl wrap to the windows of an office building advertising the campaign of Tim Cartmell for mayor of Edmonton. The slogan is LET'S GET SH*T DONE.

Edmonton folks, they're putting up the vinyl at Tim Cartmell's mayoral campaign HQ right now.

Weird slogan for a guy who people know did NOT get something done.

Incredible how many of the world’s Smartest People simply fail to think through the logical implications of their own statements

Devastating.

An important update to my last video on Bill 54.

Turns out it’s even more toxic & anti-democratic than we thought.

So bad, the Chief Electoral Officer himself is speaking out, saying it will make it next to impossible to enforce our election laws.

Take a watch to learn more.

Opinion: What's next in for-profit care in Alberta? Your local hospital? 25 years after Klein passed Bill 11, that opened the door to more private for-profit involvement in health care, the UCP is at it again.

Dismantling Alberta’s publicly funded and delivered health care system in favour of private hospitals built and operated with public money will in no way improve health-care access or outcomes and will cost more to run than publicly owned and operated hospitals.

Pierre Poilievre in a nutshell.
If ever there was a case to drain the swamp...

There’s too many cheerleaders out here.

Alberta renters are struggling, left with very few tenant protections.

This is a government that’s willing to give more money to their own MLAs to cover skyrocketing rents, but not to Albertans struggling with the cost of living.

Make it make sense!

Let’s get loud, Alberta.

If you read any thread this morning, let it be this one.

On Tuesday, April 1st, the consumer portion of the Carbon Tax will be lifted.

This also means that the per-litre carbon tax on fuel and gasoline, at 17.6c/L will also be lifted.

On Tuesday, the price of gasoline should, theoretically, drop by 17.6c/L to reflect the federal policy change.

Danielle Smith's govt in Alberta is "cost-saving" by eliminating food and drink for patients in hospital settings. Her latest cost saving measure is to take away popsicles, crackers, and ginger ale from children receiving cancer treatments. The effort they put into their cruelty is truly stunning.

Just a reminder the auto tariffs announcement is a distraction from the Signal messaging debacle in the USA.

Is there a reason why Danielle Smith is traveling to Florida on taxpayers’ dime to participate in a far-right talk show that routinely has its content removed for hate speech?
